I woke up at 5am as usual but instead of grabbing the computer, I decided to read the paper and then go to the gym. It’s now 8am and after an hour of weightlifting and 20 minutes of cardio plus a stop at the grocery store, I’m ready to get going.
I had to laugh at Aunt Robi’s (my little sister) comment about yesterdays post. For those of you that missed it, she said “well after reading that, I’m glad I don’t have any money!”.
While this is funny, everyone could soon be in the same boat but enough doom and gloom as today it’s Saturday! We need to be at the little guys soccer game by 10am and before then need to buy snacks as it’s our week. Yesterday Mom was gone almost the whole day so it was the boys and I until about 5pm. My life long good friend Harry showed up to join us for dinner. He’s from Colfax CA and here doing some work for his little sister. It’s always good to see him. We had a little drama last night as it seems Bunkie (the little diabetic dog) ate some rat poisoning. Now I don’t know why L.O.L. had rat poison out but that damn dog ate it! He threw up (good sign) and was drinking lots of water. The misses called emergency (vets) who said “bring him in”. After the misses reviewed all the facts, i.e. when he ate it, is he eating and drinking, etc, she decided he didn’t need to go in and we’d just monitor him throughout the night. She’s down there now and good news is he made it through the night. On top of that, Mojo the giant malamute, was howling all freakin night! Finally at 3am, we brought him in. Needless to say, we didn’t get much sleep.
Well the “space junk” (sounds like a strip bar from Star Wars) apparently missed us as we’re still here. Nice that they can’t even tell where it’s going to hit. They probably should have thought about it coming down before they sent it up! This afternoon after soccer I need to do some work as I have a lot to do and I’m basically changing the way the company operates. Wish me luck on this one, it’s pretty radical. I had the lawn guys (great mexican kids that mow for $20 a week which is cheaper than we can do it) skip us yesterday as the grass isn’t that long and it saves $20! We’re all also getting real excited for our upcoming trip.
Mom just got home and everyone is fine but L.O.L. has a cold. At 90 years old, this isn’t an easy thing, now we’ll have to watch her. I think my Mom’s 78 or so but she seems 25 or 30 years younger than June (L.O.L., stands for little old lady). This isn’t a knock on June but rather a testament to how good my Mom looks and gets around. She just seems like she’s from another younger generation. I’m sure my Mom will live to at least 100 the way she’s going. She does need to exercise more though, are you listening Mom? Uncle T quit smoking about a week ago, yea! From what I know, he’s still going strong, hope I’m right.
Well time to hit the showers as I need to be at the bank by 9am and then as I said earlier, have to get snacks for the soccer game. Hope you all are having a good weekend. Tomorrow I’ll make the misses write as I’m sure you miss her musings.
Take care and God Bless,
